Onya Daniel, Stargate Universe with Robert Carlyle isn’t far away
This is odd. Where is HIMYM? Seven did say they’d air new eps in February. I expect it to go in either the Monday or Wednesday 7:30pm slot along with Earl. Its good to see Boston Legal and 24 back on screen, 2 excellent shows. Especially good to see 24 in a good slot, although how long its there I’m not sure.
The rest of the schedule is pretty clear cut,
Sundays: 6:30 Sunday Night / 7:30 AGT / 8:30 City Homicide / 9:30 Bones
Mondays: 7:30 HIMYM/Earl (possibly) or Border Security/000 Heroes, / 8:30 DH / 9:30 B&S
Thursdays: 7:30 GW / 8:30 GA / 9:30 PP
That is a hawt sched. That is almost exactly the same as the mock sched I made!
oh eli stone, why so L8! 🙁
wheres how i met your mother ????
they should put that with scrubs primetime thursdays
Hooray for Eli Stone returning quickly!
Lost, though, will be four episodes behind the US, fatal for a show of its type. And the torrents of it yesterday were the busiest I’ve ever seen. One popular TV torrent site was brought to its knees by people refreshing the page every few seconds waiting for Lost to turn up.
The UK got it in less than 24 hours, while Australia, one of the biggest-downloading countries in the world waits four weeks. Idiotic move from Seven there. But then, they’ve obviously already written the show off.
As for PTTR, inventing a “new” season lets them double the amount of premium-priced DVD box sets they can put out there, and to hell with the show’s creators’ intentions…
it will be strange not having Lost on its usual Thursady night.
Yeah I love Beauty & the Geek too – also Boston Legal, which is quite a classy show. Great chemistry between the male leads pictured.
I can see my highlight pen is going to be working overtime in my Herald Sun TV Guide – not to mention the VCR. There is no way I am going to remember what is on and when. Besides it will probably all change in a week or two.
What no late night Stargate on Thursdays 🙁
Woohoo, Beauty and the Geek is back again.
It really is trash tv, but very addictive!
Actually Mike S3E1 for BH&G is exactly what is on the info I was supplied. I did think it was odd!
PTTR numbering may well have been amended by 7.
Gee, if it was anybody else but Ch 7 I would tune into 24, but alas, their history of dollar, oztam over viewer choice sadly means I wont be tuning in. I’ll wait for the DVD release, Fawlty Towers and Kath and Kim, in that order, have a slight chance, it depends whats on ABC1, ABC2, SBS or TEN HD One on the night.
Has Seven numbered PTTR episodes rightly? If I remember correctly it made 22 episodes for season 1of the drama and showed the first 13 last year, so “Natural Justice” should be episode 14 of season 1.
What of Bones, I guess it could fit in the missing slots on Monday?
Will Samantha Who? or Kath & Kim US ever be coming back to ch7? I think it would fit on the Saturday night comedy line up.
Better homes S3E1? We going back to like 1996 episodes? 😛
Fawlty Towers? I love that show. Will definitely be tuning in for that one.
Disappointing that it looks like American Dad! won’t be returning in February.
Voice over guy: “You’re watching Channel 7, where it’s 2007 every year”
It hate it how Seven’s action shows are always on at 10:30pm. Lost, 24, Prison Break.
Don’t they realise alot of us have to get up at 6am?
Watching TV without fast forwarding the Ads is becoming a novelty now.

@Chris – completely agree. Never got into Boston legal, although it looks good, but 30 Rock definitely deserves a prime-time slot. Interesting to see K&K on a Saturday. It might work for them in the way it worked for Vicar of Dibley when they put it on Saturdays last year. Good to see Eli back, but I won’t be watching as I prefer to actually sleep at night (LOL) and my VCR is broken. 🙁
24 on the Wednesday is going to conflict with my shows on Fox8, might need to get a 2nd DVR 😆 Great to see Scrubs fast tracked and now its finally in 16×9, interesting to see Eli is back, I was sure it would vanish with it gone in the US and still 4 eps left unaired in the US, maybe we’ll get them here first?
But what the frak is Fawlty Towers doing at 8pm in prime time!!!
Boston Legal was attempted at 9:30pm by Seven in some markets a year ago.
At this stage I cannot confirm 24 is at 9:30 on Feb 11.
Both Seven and Nine release schedules intermittently. TEN’s 3 week declaration (which has already made adjustments) was one out of the box.
I don’t get only releasing half your schedule
9.30 Wednesdays for 24? Suprised they’re giving it another shot in a 9.30 slot, here’s hoping it rates well enough for them to keep it there!
I do wish they would put 30 rock and Boston Legal in earlier timeslot.
